The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) plans to produce an affordable, generic anti-impotence drug and says it will be available in the marketplace from Oct 15.
GPO chief Witit Artavatkun said on Wednesday that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given permission to the GPO to produce Silagra - a Viagra equivalent that contains generic sildenafil, the same drug that powers Viagra.
"This will help deal with counterfeit drugs," Dr Witit said. "There are also many elderly people in the country, making this type of drug more popular, but it is less accessible because of its high price."
The generic drug will come in tablet form in dosages of 50mg and 100mg. A 50mg tablet will be sold at 25 baht each and a 100mg tablet 45 baht, he said.
Viagra is currently priced about 200 baht a pill in the market, he added.
The issue has attracted many comments from Thai netizens in different forums.
One of the comments jokingly asked whether the government's 30-baht universal healthcare scheme can be applied.
Another netizen suggested that the generic anti-impotence drug should also be sold in popular convenience stores.
That is good news for all of us. Do not buy these impotence drug from the road side stalls. It is widely available along Sukhumvit Road now sitting in the open and under the hot sun. Not worth risking your health with these fakes. Indian Viagra also known as Kamagra is a generic Viagra produced in India and available at many Pharmacy in Bangkok. The place where I bought mine cost THB300 for a pack of 4 pcs 100 mg tablets.

Play safe!
I'm aware of it and did bought some original V or C for a friend at one of the pharmacy in Huay kwang.
Just hope this Thai generic Silagra work as well as the original.
I will be going to BBK from 17th to 20th Sept and will be staying at Novotel Bangkok Platinum. Any nice spa around to recommend, bro? I wanna try the nuru massage too? and any gers to recommend?
sorry, new to the bkk scene. i'll be heading there in a week or two and am wondering if there's any FR on The Pimp G-Club?
I did a search and thousands of results came up. All i want to know is, is that place happening and worth the price? I know getting the right girl matters a lot but i'll only be there for a couple of nights so want to make it count.
